tor Rice received his thirteenth ap
pointment as Janitor. The House
organized by electing Hon Daniel
P. Moskey, of Ogemaw Co., as
speaker: Hon. ID. l.. Crossman as
clerk, with Mr.. Samuel F. Cook, as
Journal Clerk, and Seymour Foste,
as Corresponding Clerk, c H.
Leonard as Enrolling Clerk, with H
NJ. Rose as assistant; John p. Austin,
the man SO seriously wounded at the
late encampment of the G.. A. r. in
Owosso, as Seargent at Arms, With
Geo. Stannout and F. T. Albright as
assistants.
To your correspondent il seems
perfectly apparent that the two
Houses are to be congratulated on
their selection of officers. The
messages of the retiring, and the
Governor, were delivered in joint
convention on Thursday, and your
correspondent who has listened to
the reading ofevery message delivered
to the Legislature by Republican
Governor, has no hesitation in saying
that the message Of retiring Gov. r.
A. Alger, is by far the ablest State
paper ever presented to the Legisla
ture while the inaugural of Gov.
Luce was candid presentation of
such thoughts as he deemed of inter
est to the Legislature t. the end that
the best interests of the State might
be advanced by their joint action as
the law making power. The com
mittees Of the two Houses seem to
have been selected to the satisfaction
of the members in each House, and
from every possible standpoint the
outlook is good for a working,
harmonious session that shall be
productive OF much good to the
State. And this was not in the leas,
mared by the prompt and satisfac-
tory settlement of the senatorial
question SO early in the session.

Dehornipr Cattle.

A correspondent of the Chicago Times
writing from Carthage, H., says;
The practice of dehorning cattle has
been introduced into Hancock county very
recently, but so far very little of it has
been done. Two prominent stockmen and
residents Of the county have appliances for
doing the work, and have dehorned a num-
Der of their own cattle. The practice is
being carried on extensively in other por-
tions of the State.
So far the most diligent inquiry by your
correspondent among farmers and stock
men has failed to elicit any satisfactory
information concerning the reason for such
a barbarous and unnecessary proceeding.
Some say they suppose it is done to pre-
vent the animals from hooking" each
other with serious results. 1t is also
claimed that the operation is painless.
Hon. John Fletcher, late State Senator
and an intelligent and successful stock
raiser of this county, says: g | can see no
benefit to be derived in dehorning cattle. |
not only regard it as a most cruel practice.
but foolish one / never lost an animal
from being gored by another yet To saw
the horns off near the skull is, in my opin-
ion, torture to the dumb brutes. | do
not think dehorning cattle will have a
tendency to produce race of hornless an
finals. | have seen cattle bleed for long
time after they have accidentally broken
their horns off close to the skull"
Mr.. Fletcher is not alone in his opinion
as many other prominent stockmen think
the practice is most cruel Others, as
stated, claim the operation to be painless
as much SO as trimming ones fnger-nails

FIG CULTURE,
The Profit Arising From this Branch of
Fruit-growiny.

The Profit Arising From this Branch of
Fruit-growing.
In an article to the Kern county Time
Gustav Eisen, the widely-known VINEYARDS
list and fruit-grower, warmly advocates the
cultivation of the fig. There is no part of
the State in which this fruit can be more
successfully grown than in Sacramento
county, as experience in nearly all parts of
1t has abundantly shown. The trees grow
here with exceeding rapidity, they bear
early and immense quantities, and two or
three crops per year. 1t is therefore of in
terest to note Mr.. Eisen's comments upon
the subject of tig-growing in Fresno county.
He says: Many have already in this
county realized from $3.50 to $3.50 per
acre from their orchards. The expenses of
growing and curing figs are less than that
of any other fruit known. The trees are
subject to no disease or insect pest. and
once planted require no particular atten-
ton. The figs Of the best varieties are
being used in many different ways. twill
take 100000 acres of fig orchard to supply
alone the dried figs which are now yearly
imported into the United States.
But besides the dried article, the
crystallizing or icing of fg@s is be-
coming an extensive industry, and
many factories in California have now de-
mand for many times more than they can
supply. Messrs. Bernard and Benedict of
Los Angeles have for years offered to pay
$50 per ton for all fresh white figs shipped
to them, and they never get near enough
for the supply wanted. Canned and picked
figs are delicious article and command a
high price and ready sales in our Eastern
markets, and the juice and syrup of figs
are now extensively used for medical pur-
poses. The fresh figs, again can with
proper care-so called cold-storage-be
shipped to distant markets, and marina
ladies' and condiments in variety can be
made of the fresh fruit at home. This,
however, only relates to fine varieties, not
to the poor ones of which latter our old
Mission fig is one. If we now add that a
fig tree, eight to ten years old, may bear a
ton of fruit, it will be seen that the culti-
walton of figs cannot but prove highly
profitable"
